SEC Sets Stage for 24-Hour Trading in US Equity Markets

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to hold a public roundtable on September 17 to discuss preparations for 24-hour trading in U.S. equity markets.

The discussion will cover overnight trading, market operations, system resilience, and investor protection.

Nasdaq and Cboe are targeting longer weekday sessions, subject to regulatory approval and system readiness.

Crypto's 24/7 model has shaped demand for round-the-clock trading, but tokenized stocks remain separate from exchange-listed shares.
